Housing Disrepair Claims Liverpool

Housing disrepair can be a serious issue. It can often cause health issues, stress or damage to your belongings. Your landlord is responsible for ensuring that your property is kept in good condition and any repairs that are necessary are carried out in a timely manner. There are several areas that your landlord is responsible for:

Ensuring any heating system provided is in a good working order

Keeping the structure of the building, including drains, gutters, roofs, foundations and external pipes in good repair

Keeping in proper working order the water, gas, electricity and sanitation including basins, sinks, baths and toilets

Making sure that serious disrepair or dampness doesn’t make the building unfit for human habitation

Ensuring the property is free from vermin infestation

If your landlord fails to adhere to these responsibilities then it is possible to take the landlord to court to claim compensation, even if you have already left the property and are living elsewhere. In order for any claim against your landlord to be valid, you must serve a legal notice against your landlord.

If you require more information in relation to this then please contact our expert team of solicitors either by phone or our instant live chat service below:

If your landlord fails to respond to the legal notice then you are able to make a claim to the small county claims court for compensation. Damage to belongings in relation to housing disrepair is also a valid area for a claim. There are various ways in which your belongings can become damaged by housing disrepair. This includes:

Dampness or Mould – can damage clothes, bedding, curtains and other fabric within your home

Leaks or other issues related to disrepair. – leaks within the home can cause damage to furniture and carpets

Sometimes this may be covered by home insurance which has been taken out by you or your landlord. However, if this is not the case then you are able to make a claim for compensation to the small claims court to claim back the cost of the item which has been damaged.

If you have any issues due to housing disrepair then it is important to collect several different types of evidence in order to support your claim. Try not to throw away any items which have been damaged as it would help your case if you are able to produce these in court. Taking photographs of the disrepair or any damage caused by it would also be extremely helpful. If you need to replace items which have been damaged then you should keep any receipts for these items to prove that you have had to purchase these. It would also benefit your case if you have any receipts for the original items to prove their worth while your claim is assessed.

Housing disrepair issues can also have a large effect on your health, especially when considering the effect that mould or dampness can have on your overall wellbeing. Certain types of mould have even been linked to various cancers and can aggravate many breathing conditions such as emphysema and other diseases related to COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

In situations where you believe that your health has been affected by the disrepair of your home, it is possible to make a claim based upon the severity of your illness. If you have been unable to work, the loss of earnings you may have suffered can also be recovered if it is possible to directly link the disrepair to your health issues. To help identify this link it is necessary to obtain an architect or surveyor’s report for your household as well as a doctor’s report verifying that the worsening of your health is related to the conditions you are living in.

If you have found that you have been unable to use parts of your household due to the disrepair then it is possible to claim for a refund of rent in proportion to the amount of your home which is uninhabitable. In extreme situations where your home is completely uninhabitable it is possible to claim up to 100% of your rent. This is called an ‘abatement of rent’.

Lastly, if you have found yourself inconvenienced due to the disrepair of your home so that you have been unable to use the facilities of the house in the normal way then you can press forwards with a claim for this inconvenience.

The amount awarded will depend upon the level of your inconvenience and the level of the disrepair. Housing disrepair can be a very complex area.
